The city&#8217;s many leading universities and institutes have generated numerous Nobel Prizes, and there&#8217;s even a <a href=\"https:\/\/cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com\/2009\/05\/29\/new-york-and-its-nobel-laureates\/\">monument to winners<\/a> of the prizes in Theodore Roosevelt Park.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the world-famous institutes such as Columbia, Brookhaven and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, Jeffrey has also picked out unusual sites of geological interest, such as Greenwood Cemetery and exposed bedrock in Central Park.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caps\">NYC<\/span> also has much to offer on the cultural side. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldsciencefestival.com\/\">World Science Fair<\/a>, inaugurated by local boy Brian Greene, is held here annually and this year included appearances from Stephen Hawking and, of all things, the James Webb Telescope. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnh.org\/\">American Museum of Natural History<\/a>, meanwhile, will be famous to people the world over thanks to its starring role in the film <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Night_at_the_Museum\">Night at the Museum<\/a>. The map also gives a good reason why scientists should visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/\">Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The map is very much a starting point &#8211; there&#8217;s plenty more to add.
